Yes, there ARE movies that are much better than the book. Carrie IS a brilliant movie. However, in my humble opinion, the book is rubbish!!! Some might disagree!!!😢😢😢😢😢😢😢

Book; AWs kills a mouse, then licks it's blood. Cuts his thumb off, putting it onto a Birthday Cake!!!

I prefer the movie, a cracking psychological thriller. CB played the part to a T, without need for the blood and gore of the novel. A classic!!!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

i've been trying to simply read in the same mindset i did as a kid, because that was the last time i enjoyed reading. i'm not looking things up before picking up a book, and i'm staying an arm's length away from un-personalized recommendations. ads, certainly, but i'll even shrug away suggestions from book youtubers i "trust" because i need my tastes to speak for themselves. as good as others may find a book, i can't just take them saying "it's good" at face value because of the deeply personal nature of reading for me. it makes me sad that a major amount of "new readers" read just for the hi-score on goodreads or to be seen as intellectual when they're walking away from 10 books with no growth to show for it. i'm the type of person that becomes transformed after a good book. i'd hate to skip that integral part of literature. i think reading recs are best coming from a friend who also reads. this friend may know what genres, themes, tone, etc that you enjoy and can really narrow it down in a way that you don't think they're shilling on behalf of the publishers lol

Maybe, for goodreads: set it as one book. And from there everything is additional.

I love finding a channel that is going to slow down with reading. I’m new to making content focused more on books and within a few videos I also feel the pressure to read more. I don’t want to do that either ❤

Great video ❤

Hey great video! This popped up in my recommended! Totally agree with all your points, and for me personally, I used to get huge reading slumps when I was more on social media and chronically online. Ever since I distanced myself, I stopped caring about reading goals and reading is my primary hobby (plus i'm a bookseller!) - I have read 200 books this year which I never even knew was possible & still don't know how it happened, and have not had a reading slump in a very long time! My friends claim they have no time to read and frequently find themselves in slumps with no motivation, which I know is due to the exact points of overthinking a reading goal and being way too online. Looking forward to more videos from you!

Love this. I'm sick of the channels that are all about numbers, new book hauls and they are all reading the same over hyped works. I understand those things on occasion but whole channels are based on that. All the best with your new reading plans. I've begun a deep dive into Tolkiens work. And after not having an interest in fiction for ages I'm working my through the fiction that is on my shelves.

Fantastic video. You've articulated this so well. Just found your channel, and Instantly subscribed - looking forward to your videos.

We have replaced Elitism with consumerism. Replacing lesson's learnt from an author's pages to number counts. We ought to read like Hemingway, Byron and Angelou. Books are for the curious, the thinkers, the romantics, the rebels. Not for snake oil salespeople complaining about Murakami and selling you Uglies and a cemetery for a TBR

I feel the same way about reading slumps und have to agree to your theory. Since I started tracking my reading in 2022, I read so many books, but donˋt feel passionate about most of them. I just read them and now I am kind of in a reading slump, because I feel like the books nowadays are all just mid. The years before I read less books, but more exiting books for me. Instead of my favorite genres (classics, poetry, high fantasy) I read a lot of romance books, that didnˋt really give me anything. Nothing against this genre, it just isnˋt what I am personally looking for in reading. I love to learn from books and grow with them. But that takes time with the books and a slower reading experience. The online book community kind of influenced me in a bad way about my own reading habits. It is all numbers and buying new books that everyone is reading, just to talk about them. I love bookish content, but I think, we can be more careful about what it is doing to us and our own (reading) life.

I read misery early this year it was good but to me the movie wins kathy bates deserved that oscar i love her more in Dolores Claiborne another king movie adaptation one of the best so underrated along with the book

Those look like great books for kids! I am a professional artist and I share my paintings on KZbin. Cheers on a Tuesday!

It would be nice if you would have talked just a little bit about the books. Not a spoiler but just an idea.
